My mom, being a Neonatal Nurse, I have witnessed the joy that a new life brings as well as the sorrow a death brings.
Abortion was legalized in 1973 by the Supreme Court in case Roe vs. Wade. The law was legalized in order to sustain a woman’s so called ‘fundamental right’ contending that the choosing of abortion should not be limited by governmental or religious authority.

If denied, I’d like to have the patient consulted with, offered living assistance-if needed, as well as present options of adoption while also explaining. As these regulations would be nation-wide, It should also be required that the abortion clinic is to counsel each patient thoroughly and provide ‘well checks’ throughout the term of pregnancy or 9 months after having an abortion, because both are very harming to the human body. To conclude, Joan Didion 's essay, "On Morality," poses the question, "What is 'right ' and what is 'wrong, ' what is 'good ' and what 'evil '?" (182). In today 's society, often times many people do not even consider this question before taking action. What I am pleading is that we open our mind to abortion, while also setting firm guidelines and regulations that as a nation, we will stand and believe
